Conor Burns MP and Tobias Ellwood MP were invited to BU聽to answer questions from staff and students on the upcoming EU Referendum. The event was organised by the Students' Union at 成人直播 (SUBU) and聽chaired by SUBU's outgoing President Chloe Schendel-Wilson.聽
While Conor Burns MP for Bournemouth West聽supports Britain鈥檚 exit from the European Union, Tobias Ellwood representing Bournemouth East聽is for the Remain campaign.聽Both MPs were given an equal time to state their case for their respective viewpoints before answering questions from the audience and Facebook users.聽The聽event was streamed live from BU's new Fusion Building聽on SUBUs social media channels.
The economy, sovereignty and immigration were the hot topics of the evening for both camps. Mr Burns urged voters to consider Britain's strength in the global聽trading market and how EU laws are not made by elected officials. Mr Ellwood on the other hand took a more pragmatic approach outlining the benefits of EU membership but saying聽that the EU Referendum was a wake up call to the EU Parliament the things need to change - something which can only happen if Britain remains a member state.聽
Both聽MPs have, over the past few years, been heavily involved in BU and SUBU activities,聽making聽appearances at聽events and lending support to campaigns and projects.聽聽
